Progressive Die Stamping

Leech’s customers value our high level of expertise in progressive dies and progressive die stamping. Our progressive die stamping capabilities allow for the high-volume production of complex parts with high precision, repeatability and accuracy.

Progressive die stamping involves simultaneously cutting and shaping a metal workpiece, forming parts sequentially. As the metal is fed into the press, it progresses through each stage of the die until the final shape is achieved. Progressive dies can perform the following operations:

  • Bending
  • Blanking
  • Draw forming
  • Punching

The Benefits of Progressive Die Stamping

Progressive die stamping is one of our highest-demand services at Leech Industries. Utilizing progressive dies is important in producing high-quality metal stamped parts for a number of reasons.

  • Efficiency: They can produce complex parts quickly and efficiently, which is essential in high-volume production environments.
  • Accuracy: Progressive dies can produce parts with a high level of accuracy and consistency, ensuring that each part is identical to the next.
  • Versatility: These tools can be used to produce a wide range of parts, including those with complex geometries and intricate features. Progressive dies can also be used with a variety of materials such as steel, aluminum, brass and copper, among others.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Progressive dies can produce high volumes of parts quickly, accurately and with great repeatability. This results in a lower cost per part that translates to cost savings for our customers.
